What is a Registrar?

Companies that register domain names with central record-keeping organizations used by the whole Internet. There used to be only one: Network Solutions, more recently known as NetSol since Verisign bought them out. In 1999, the international organization ICANN assumed control of registration, opening it up to competition and there are now dozens of registrars, as well as resellers of domain registration services. Not sure where you are registered? It can be confusing. Your domain might have been registered on your behalf by an ISP, by your previous host, by a web designer that did work on the site for you, or by a registrar that has since been bought up by someone else. You've heard horror stories, but most registrations are simple and problem-free. Do a WHOIS lookup for your domain name and the registrar will be displayed.
